I know, Lindsay dahlin - but in Sliding Doors (grr - I think that was the
name) the British guy *was* referencing to Monty Python. He's standing next
to Gwyneth in the elevator, she drops her earring, he picks it up, she says
thanks, and he says, "You know what they say...", she gives him a weird
look, and he says: "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" (he says it
again a few times during the movie, and in the closing scene too).

Anywho, if there's any chance you'll like the "what if" aspect of it, go
rent the movie, and whatever you do, DON'T READ THE WHOLE REVIEW. Don't
scroll down at all below where it is, if you don't want spoilers. It reveals
waaaaay more than any review should, even though it doesn't give away the
ending (what an accomplishment! The reviewer is basically jumping out of
his/her skin to *not* tell it. Gee). And the cute guy is James Hannah,
evidently.
I recommend it! (Then again, men don't _like_ romantic comedies, right? <grin>)
